Attachment Hosts

As part of the Fellowship Programme, each Fellow has a 10 day programme of individual attachments reflecting each Fellow’s professional interests. Past attachments have included placements with parliamentarians, local government, press and television organisations, commercial and industrial enterprises, voluntary organisations, academics and others.

The attachments give the Fellows the opportunity to see UK organisations working in their professional field first hand and to gain an understanding, through observation and practical experience, of how the organisation fits into the social and political framework of the UK. 

The Trust is grateful to all the many organisations and individuals who work so hard and give so much of their time to assist our Fellows. If you are interested in becoming an Attachment Host please contact Emily Carr at emily.carr@johnsmithtrust.org

"The meetings with the Scottish Legal Aid Board and Public Defenders will help me further improve the legal aid system in Moldova, particularly regarding the quality standards for defence, the role of public defenders in reducing reoffending and the use of research for making better policies."
